Treatment I'm Nervous Diseases.

In taking charge Of a nervous pa
tient the nurse should see that every
reasonable cause of annoyance is re-
moved. Rest, quiet, and freedom from
care is one of the best prescriptions,
and whatever frets and irritates retartls
recovery. The attention should be
occupied and the mind diverted with.
out being fatigued. Symptoms should
never be dwelt upon and discussed, but
quietly disposed of in few kind and
cheering words, while some measure
is taken for their alienation. Some of
the physicians who make the treatment
of these ailments speciality in their
practice order complete rest i'm bed for
their patients; they are separated from
their friends and put in charge of an
efficient nurse, and nothing that can
harass or disturb is allowed to come
near them. This treatment is very
etfectual in some eases; but it can
hardly be carried out at home except
under peculiarly favorable circum-
stances. Nervous people should have
light, easily-digested diet, and if able
to go out take moderate exercise in the
open air, in hopes that the exertion
may induce natural sleep. They should
be encouraged to exert themselves in
any way not too fatiguing and that is
not followed by a reaction. Light
gymnastics are sometimes beneficial, or
some fresh pursuit may be taken up
that will occupy the mind without tir-
ing it by working in well-worn grooves.
After every exertion there should be a
corresponding period of rest. The
physician in attendance will prescribe
the medicine he thinks most suitable
and the patient should be encouraged
to have faith in him and in the good
effects OF the remedy.-Ehisabeth Robin

The Hare i'm the Moon.

There is II common superstition about
pointing the finger ut the new moon,
and in Swabia children are not allowed
to make the shadow figure of II hare on
the wall with their fingers, in imitation
of the hare sometimes supposed to be
visible in the moon. This latter custom
is curious, because in China, India and
Ceylon there is also thought to be Il
hare in the moon, and in connection
with definite traditions. In Indian my
thology the god of the moon carries n
hare. In Ceylon. the story is that the
hare meeting Buddha in a wood babe
him light fire, and then proceeded to
jump into it to be cooked for his bene-
fit; whereupon Buddha snatched the
good animal from the flame and trans
lated it to the moon. The. Chinese
hold that the hare's figure was placed
in the moon to commemorate the action
of the Ruler of heaven, who once chang
ell himself into Il hare to assuage the
pangs of hungry traveller. Some such
story must underlie the Swabian Gus
tom, which, like other customs i'm con-
nection with the moon, is thought to
be II survival of an old system of moon
worship. But how came it that the sun
and moon were ever worshipped at alp
Is it not, with greater probability, be-
cause human attributes were once as
cribed to them with fear and dread,
than because they were regarded as the
symbols of light, or fire, or heatp From
belief in their humanity to belief in
their divinity the transition would be
natural and obvious, and, in fact, on
no other theory can we understand all
the preparatory sacrifices connected with
their worship. Would the Mexicans
have offered their horrible human sac
rifices merely to the symbols of light

Corean superstitions.

When cholera was raging in Cores
last summer it was supposed to have
been arrested by the successful efforts
OF the people in firing guns at the chol.
era gods Tor deviD. The disease did
stop its ravages very suddenly, and II
the masses had faith enough in their
method of treating it to carry it out
faithfully it is but natural to suppose
that thoy would ascribe the successful
results to their vigorous treatment. Re-
Gently three soldiers doing duty at the
palace lost their hair i'm a mysterious
way, and as the same experience has
since fallen to others it has caused great
CONSERVATION. The hair is worn i'm a
little knot on top of the head. This
knot is sign of manhood, as all bows
and unmarried men wear their hair in
braid down their backs. 1t is first
put up when the young man is betroth-
ed, and is ever afterward tended with
great care. To lose this coil is sad
affiiction, but the unaccountable man.
ner in which men are now losing their
hair becomes cause of national anxi-
ETY. and shame as well as distress to
the individual. As the occurrence is
still taking place and no visible cause
can be discovered, it has been ascribed
to an evil spirit. Consequently the ar
tillery is again called into requisition
and the music of the Gatling gun is
enough to lead one to suppose the city
to be in state of siege. This may
seem to be trifling matter, yet great
criseses have arisen from no greater
causes. Should, for instance, this oc-
currence be ascribed to the disgust of
the gods with their people (Coreans)
for associating with short-haired for
eigners, the intelligent. predetermined
King and progressive party would have
trouble in restraining the masses from
doing violence to the people whom
they believed to be bringing disgrace
with their presence in the country.
